Greg Gutfeld Suggested Jimmy Kimmel 'Try Being a Right Winger for a Year'

Greg Gutfeld slammed Jimmy Kimmel after the comedian made comments about Donald Trump.
Gutfeld told Kimmel to “stop blubbering” about the hate on the Fox News show.
“Look, he is right. He doesn’t have to listen to criticism, but then don’t complain about it. You can do what you want and we can tell you what sucks. You get paid handsomely so take it like a man and stop blubbering,” he said.
"Try to be a right winger for a year," he suggested on air to the late-night show host.

'He’s incapable of self-deprecation,' Greg Gutfeld said about Jimmy Kimmel on 'The Five.'
"He’s hopeless because he’s decided he’s too important to be funny," Gutfeld blasted. "He’s incapable of self-deprecation, he can’t poke fun at himself and he lost the ability to be silly."
"I am a fool. I’m the first to admit it. I embrace it. The less important you think I am the better it is for me. No one mocks me more than me and most of the insults directed at me from critics they took from me. So there," the political commentator said.

Jimmy Kimmel Appeared on Michelle Obama's Podcast to Discuss Politics

The comedian appeared on the April 15 episode of 'IMO' podcast.
On April 15, Kimmel spoke with the former First Lady, 62, on her "IMO" podcast and expressed his disdain for Trump, as well as why it's hard to not be able to talk politics on his talk show.
“It just seems obvious and unavoidable. I just can’t imagine on those nights talking about anything other than what we are talking about… I think it would be embarrassing if we didn’t talk about this. It would be shameful. I love telling jokes. I love being funny. I love when the audience laughs. There’s nothing that’s more exciting to me than that,” the funnyman said.

'I think it would be embarrassing if we didn’t talk about [politics],' Jimmy Kimmel said.
He also believed critics are trying to censor him from doing his job correctly, which he said is to “talk about what’s going on in people’s lives.”
“To say that, well your job is this, it makes me — I bristle at that,” Jimmy Kimmel Live! host explained. “Because, first of all, don’t tell me what my job is. I don’t tell you what your job is. My job is whatever I decide my job is, whatever my employer allows me to do. That’s what my job is.”
